Lyrics

See the stone set in your eyes.

See the thorn twist in your side.

I’ll wait

for you.

Sleight of hand and twist of fate, on a bed of nails she makes me wait.

And I wait

with out you,

with or with out you,

with or with (Cm7)out

you.

Through the storm we reach the shore.

You a give it all but I want more.

And I’m wait

ing for you,

with or with out you,

with or with (Cm7)out

you.

with or with out you, uh huh.

I can’t live

with or with (Cm7)out

you.

And you (Eb)give your self a way.

And you (Cm7)give your self a way.

And you give,

and you give,

and you (Cm7)give your self a way.

My hands are tied,

the bod y bruised.

You got me with

noth ing to win

and

(Cm7)noth ing left to lose.

And you

Wth or with out you,

with or with out you, oh.

I can’t live

with or with (Cm)out you.

(Eb)Oh.

(Cm7)Oh.

(Eb)Oh,

oh, oh.

With or with out you,

with or with out you, uh huh.

I can’t live

with or with (Cm)out you,

with or with (Eb)out you.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.
